Just had dinner with an accountant last night who worked for Ernst and Young. Now retired. She said that AI will never have the final say on an audit. Humans will be sorting through mountains of data on spreadsheets forever to make sure the numbers “add up”. AI will help, but AI will never have the final stamp of approval.
Music for the visual media - @CWMUSIC I am sorry but generative AI music will absolutely be a trustworthy output to use to make an ad, use as an underscore on a show, as a promo, in a film, in docuseries, in a trailer, in a youtube tutorial. These outputs from SUNO and UDIO ALREADY ARE GOOD ENOUGH. The main question is: Is the service offering from Suno.AI even legal? Do they have the legal right to offer their service to the public and sell subscriptions when it is clear as day that they used everyone’s copyrights without consensual, willful, contractual permission to do so from the rightsholders! Read the complaint filed. No Judge or Jury will ever rule in favor of the defendant in this case. SUNO and UDIO are going down, it’s just a mattter of when…not “if”.
And I do agree CW that for now, Hollywood and Big brands will not trust AI music, but those attitudes will shift in a couple of years when the cost savings variable (No royalties owed to humans) kicks into high gear.
Our only hope is that a recurring royalty model is born out of this new way of making “AI music” (With our human authored music) - Remember this: The “AI Music output”, is only as good as it’s “human authored input.”
